Mentally-ill man stabs brother to death in Ogun over New Year ram

A New Year celebration at Agbado Crossing area of Ogun State turned tragic on Friday after a mentally-sick man identified, Peter Akinjogun, stabbed his elder brother, Femi Akinjogun, to death.

Sunday PUNCH learnt that Femi slaughtered a ram for family members who came to celebrate with him.

Trouble started when the 42-year-old father of two reportedly asked Peter to join him in butchering the ram – a request that angered Peter.

He was said to have picked up a knife and stabbed Femi in the neck, leaving him in a pool of blood. It was gathered that the victim was rushed to a hospital where he was confirmed dead.

The incident was reported to the police at the Agbado Police Station and Peter was arrested by a team led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Kuranga Yero.

A source in the community told our correspondent that Peter has been suffering from mental illness for some time and taken to psychiatric hospitals in Ogun and Lagos.

The source said, “The man has a mental problem. He was taken to the psychiatric hospital in Yaba but he ran away from the facility. I learnt that he beat a nurse and fled. On the New Year’s Day, his elder brother and some family members were butchering a ram and he asked him to join them. That was all. He snapped and went for a knife. He stabbed his brother in the neck and he bled to death. The deceased has two kids and his wife is heavily pregnant. He was buried today (Saturday). The family is not willing to pursue any case.”

A relation of the family, who did not mention his name, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on the telephone.

He added, “I am their brother. The guy (Peter) is mentally-ill and had been hospitalised at the psychiatric hospitals in Ogun and Lagos. We don’t want this issue to escalate.”

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the incident happened around 5.30pm on Friday but was reported to the police about 11pm after Femi died.

He stated, “Femi usually slaughtered a ram every New Year’s Day and family members went to his house to celebrate with him. On Friday when they were butchering the ram, he requested Peter to assist them but the younger brother got angry.

“Femi chided him and he (Peter) brought out a knife. He stabbed him to death in the neck. His wife witnessed how the incident happened and became unconscious. She was rushed to the hospital where she was stabilised.

“Peter is mentally sick. He ran away from the psychiatric hospital where he was being treated, claiming that he was okay.”

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, adding that Peter would be returned to a psychiatric hospital.

He said, “The man has been suffering from a mental problem since 2017 and he was taken to a psychiatric hospital in Abeokuta. His elder brother was the one paying the medical bills. The brother only asked him to assist in butchering the ram but he stabbed him. He was rushed to a hospital where he died.”

Does anything like Yoruba demon exist? Just asking

You people knew his mental state and still asked him to come help slaughter ram, rather he saw his brother as the ram. This is self inflicted death. Too bad.

RIP

With the way he pose for the picture with a smile,its obvious he is actually ill mentally.
Rip to the dead..

The title of the movie is Esan Aburo

He used his brother destiny in exchange for wealth.. That in turn made him mentally deranged ...now he didn't do the yearly sacrifice and now the brother killed,

Now watch out for part 2, where the brother would get well and he would be in charge of his brother's wealth


Sense no go kill me

Low self-esteem is the cause

Ao ni se agbako o
Ao ni Kan agbako
We no go jam agbako o


This year, let's all be calm and shelf our anger to avoid stories that touch oo

Shey na poverty CUs this one,abi na greed,abi na bad belle?

Tinubu has finished his people, he is the architect of all the problems the entire SW is facing among their youths. Once 2023 gets closer he will still go on a rice sharing tour to deceive gullible people that he will abandon after the election, spits on his rotten teeth.

A mentally derailed person must at all time be placed under closed surveillance,

he must be out of sight to sharp object, weapons or things alike to avoid this kind of incidence and above all you must not provoke him or go into any form of argument with him.

I sympathize with the family

Ok
May we never be victim of evil circumstances

Just that?

When will we ever be useful to ourselves in this country??

Killing here, killing there..

Now he has murdered his brother, I hope he murdered the ram too.

I don't know why people are being greedy in life. His murdered brother's life worth more than the ram.

He is inhumane.

What's all these now?!

Pathetic situation. RIP to the dead. Their failure to return him to the psychatric hospital caused this saddening situation.

Afonjas

Ok

D evils....smh

I have delayed my lecture on possession for too long.

There is no such thing as mental illness

This is a case of possession. When a spirit that doesn't own a body enters that body you see it as the person being mentally ill and acting violently..

You can induce possession by forcing yourself to astral travel or taking certain mixtures that induce your spirit hold on the body to weaken severely (what some may call trance or extreme high)

Now depending on your spiritual draw if it's weak due to an prolonged illness or having a gift like clairvoyance or clairaudience you could actually have another spirit force it's way into your body

Then people see you start to act strange

Movies like exorcisms have poeticized this wrongly

This young man's brother has been suffering from possession for a long time and it gets worse as his hold get weaker and weaker on the flesh . A very dark spirit used his body to commit this murder.

If you want to force his own spirit back there are actually ways to do this but anyways I shall write up my article and post it this week

This is sad

I hope say no be lalasticlala he stab so for Ogun state.

Real definition of the devil at work on he will be calm when he gets to jail.

Another Lucifer on the loose

hian.

This one is sick nau!!

Apparently unbalanced.

eeyah.

Brother died for nothing.
